HARVIN KILLEDI CRUSHED BENEATH CAR WHEELS IN SUMTER. "rhe Lord Gareth and the Lord Taketh; Blessed Be the Name of the Lord." "Ned Harvin was run over by the mail train in Sumter and his left leg cut off!" was the shocking news that reached here last Saturday evening while people were congregated at the post office waiting for their evening mail. At the announcement of this terrible news, a spontaneous prayer, "God have mercy !" went up from the hearts of all. The news of this terrible ac cident went flying about the town and in a few moments groups of men with mois tened eyes could be seen here and there discussing the fearful visitation. Strong men wept as they would talk about it. and the poor little parentless children were doubly sympatnized with. When the train arrived the details of the accident was learned. The train had staited off from the Sumter depot, and Mr. Hrvin being a little late, anxious to get home to his children, undertook to catch it. He ran and caught up with the tra'n, but by some means he lost his footing and was thrown under the wheels, which passed over his left leg in two places, severing the limb in twain. The train was stopped al most immediately, and a colored physician who happened to be at the depot and saw the accident, ran to the unfortunate man, and with the assistance of others endeav ored to arrest the flow of blood. He then was taken to the Jervey House, and all that skill and loving hearts could do, was done, until three o'clock Sunday morning when the Angel of Death came to him an I relieved him of his suffering. We are in formed that he came to consciousness for a short time, which was devoted to prayer for his children. The body was brought to Manning Sunday evening and was met at the depot by a large crowd of citizens. It was then taken to the home of the deceased, and on Monday morning the funeral took place in the Methodist church, of which he was a member. Rev. James McDow-Al con ducted the service. The funeral was largely attended. The deceased had a large family connection and a host of friends, and never have we witnessed a more touching procession. On arriving at the church, the magnificent cas ket covered with beautiful flowers, was borne by the pall-bearers, who were: J. H. Rigby, P. B. Mouzon. F. 0. Richardson, J. H. Lesesne, Dr. Geo L. Dickson, J. W. Rigby, Dr. C. W. Barron, A. B. Galloway. Fo.lowing the casket was the aged mother and two of the deceased's children and the large number of relatives. A heart of stone would have melted a's that eighty-year-old mother followed up the aisle ber baby-boy, and the now parentless ehildren as their little hearts gave way to sobs of agony. The church was fall, not only with people, but with sorrow. Mr. McDowell opened the service with ymn 619, "And must this body die, This well-wrought frame decay ?" He then read various appropriate passages f scripture, and at the ciose he offered up a most touching and beautiful prayer. Then he selected for his text Epistles to the Hebrews, 13th chapter, 14th verse, "For here we have n' continuing city, but we seek one to come," from which he pleaded with the living to prepare for the end to come, and drew from the subject that lay in the casket before him a word picture that should never fade from memory. His sermon was intended to go right into the hearts of his hearers, that they might take warning not to live for the things of this earth, brit to prepare for a future time. His remarks were affecting and full of earnestness. At the close of the sermon he gain offered a most fervent and earnest prayer, and the choir sang hymn 638, be inning at 2nd stanza, *-This life's a dream, an empty show; But the Bright world to which i go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shanl I wahe and flnd me there 7" The rest of the service was conducted at he grave. The body was placed beside hat of his wife who predeceased him eleven aonths ago, and when the grave was filled, seices of the departed one laid upon the omb a beautiful blanket~of rare and choice lowers. Mr. McDowell then pronounced he benediction. Edward D. Harvin was born September 3rd 1857, making him near his thirty-eighth irthday. He was the youngest child of a large and influential family of this county. n the 5th day of May of la-t year his wife ied leaving him with four little children. rom the death of his wile he became a ouble parent; naturally kind and affec ionate. circumstances made him more so, ad if ever there was a man that idolized his children and the memory of his dead wife, it was he. Often during the week, ad regularly on Sunday, did he visit his wife's grave, there to be alone to give relief to his grief-burdened heart. We knew ed Harvin, and in him we knew a noble, generous, and true man. We knew, for he had told us, that his earthly ambition was o live for his precious children, and that e and they may so live that there would be a family reunion in the great beyond. Oh ! that such a terrible calamity should befall him must be for some grand purpose, mysterious to us, but known well to Him, who gaveth life. In offering our tribute to be placed upon the earthly tomb of our de parted friend, let us direct attention to the solemn words of warning, sounded by that servant of God who conducted the funeral ervice. Let us ponder them well, and may God in his infinite mercy and wisdom protect andi guide the four litte children who have none to look to, but Him, is our sincere prayer.

It is with a sad heart that Claren don records the death of this noble m in,but more than all will be it to the comrades of his who followed the for tunes of Robert E. Lee in the shifting victories and defeats, suffering and privation which none know but those who followed the Southern Cross, with numberless odds of the enemy in front, and suffering and starvation in the rear. D. Oscar Brunson left Clarendon with the Sprott Guards, afterwards Co. I. 23rd S. 0. V. His genial char actor and gentle heart always cheered the darkest hours of a soldier's life. He always looked upon the sunny side of life, and like the good Samar itan, he was ever ready to assist the needy as a soldier. He was as brave as the bravest. The writer, who stood by his side in the front ranks of his company on the 17th day of June, 1864, at Petersburg, Va., wit nessed the grandest struggle between the North and the South, and on this line D. Oscar Brunson was seriously wounded and carried on the back of his comrade to where he could get assistance. We see him after he re turns home to see his cities in ashes, his fields desolate, and every home a house of mourning. But he hastens to assist his comrades in reforming their shattered ranks, preparing and caring for the women and children of our desolate land. "The Reaper, Death, has claimed our comrade, and taken a prize from our midst !"* but beyond these dark, sombre shadows, we see the smiling face of Him who never ei-rs, and in behalf of the com rades of old Company I, 23rd S. C. V., we extend a soldier's sympathies to the family of our comrade, assuring them that his memory will ever live in the hearts of all his comrades, who are assured that a few more remnants are left who -Not far beyond, we all shall caitp, Beyond life's battle line; To join the army of Robert Lee, That rests beneath the pines."

The Efect of the Supreme Court's Decision on the Income Tax. WAsIxGToo, April 9.-The effect of the supreme court's decision on the in come tax law, so far as the treasury department official can determine after a hurried estimate made yesterday afternoon, will be a reduction of about one-half of the -revenue originally esti mated as obtainable from that source, thus making the annual revenue to be expected about $15.000,000. The origi nal estimate of $30,000,000 per year was based on the assumption that the law would be held to be constitutional in all of its provisions. Collectors of in ternal revenue will be notified of the decision and instructed to make what ever corrections may be necessary through the decision rendered yester day, in the blank forms furnished them by the commissioner of internal reve nue. No new forms will be issued and the work of prepatraticn for the collec tion of the tax will proceed without delay. MINISTER RANSOM BETTER. His Condition Regarded as Only Fatigue From the Long Trip. WASHINGToN, April 8.-The dispatch received at the state department from Secretary Butler, of our legation to Mexico, gi es additional assurance re specting Minister Ransom's health. He is merely fatigued and may suffer from the great altitude of the city. Those who know General Ransom best, his closest friends, know that be is of ten unduly apprehensive of his physi cal condition and exagerates the symp toms. It is believed here that the new minister will be able to take hold of his duties in a day or two. WILL BE NO EXTRA SESSION. Unless There is an Un-xpected Change in Conditions, Says Cleveland. WAsINxooN, April 9.-The presi dent, on being asked yesterday after noon whether, in view of the decision of the supreme court on the income tax law, an extra session of congress would be called, said that neither he nor the secretary of the treasury saw any ne cessity for such action and that unless there was an unexpected change in conditions he had no idea that congress would meet again before the time ap pointed for its regular session.
